Don't understand ReadyNAS Backup info
I'm new to my 104 ReadyNAS and was just trying a test Backup and following the Netgear instructions. I'm remotely connecting via my local network with my RN104 and selecting 'Backup/Add Backup....
Thanks StephenB.
I'm aiming towards three backups too, and have a lot of my important stuff on Backblaze at the moment. But, as you say, space is the issue still.
Thanks very much too for your a,b,c advice. It's very useful, and at the moment I can probably cobble together enough USB drives to hold most of my eventual NAS stuff. Your (c) suggestion makes great sense too, but my hoarding nature makes it hard to dump stuff off my Macs. Also, although I have a wired gigabit network (or at least it should be gigabit) I'm still finding my way around read/write speeds and don't know what the implications would be for HD or greater video editing if I access from the NAS. I'm sure you're right about leaving current projects on my internal or USB 3.0/eSATA Mac Pro drives.
